PHPBrowserBox is project that bridges the gap between desktop and web application by allowing you to convert your web application into a native desktop GUI applications.

It is basically like combining wamp or xampp server and google chrome into a single application.

It allows the use of technologies like PHP, MySQL, Apache, JavaScript, and SQLite.

Getting Started

You can download the latest release of PHPBrowserBox for your windows PC from PHPBrowserbox Releases.

Extracting the package to your pc, and launch phpbrowserbox app in the root the package.

How It Works

PHPBrowserbox starts apache server, mysql server and serves your web application like your regular wamp server. It can optionally launch the web application inside an internal google chrome browser to give you application a desktop-like feel.

In the previous versions before 6.0, you can only start and stop phpbrowserbox. But version 6.0 has introduced a control panel that allows you to handle the server aspect of phpbrowserbox like you do for wamp, xampp and the others.

As a matter of fact, you can use phpbrowserbox as a replacement for other LAMP servers.

Note: unlike other regular LAMP servers, PHPBrowserBox can run from any directory you place it in, as it is designed to be a standalone application in the first place. This is why it does not come with a setup, however, you can package it for distribution for final end-users using installers.
